I had to sit through this movie because I paid over a 100 bucks for it. It's hard to believe that a movie can be made that has nothing going for it. Idiotic dialogues wrapped up in gaudy phoren locations. I believe this the first movie in which the audience actually audibly groaned at the jokes that it tried to 'imply'.

In addition to that, add two UGLY women who only got roles because they can "show off". I would never want to see anything that they had to show. BAD BAD acting, coupled with a story that is absolutely stupid, I feel stupid for having watched this movie. HELP! (sob) I can't even begin to count the flaws, there is just not anything interesting here. In a scene, two characters jump of a bridge into water, and later they are shown completely dry and the lady has her make-up intact. Plus, a character is not supposed to have a thumb, and in the final scenes, we plainly see the thumb front on. The FBI succumb to the trivial eccentricities of a village cop from India, ya right. And, what more...we have bird bombs blasting away an important building in New York, FBI plotting to kill the president of the USA, two bimbos, "religious sentiment", ah...the basic Bollywood mish-mash.

If you are going on a date and want to set the evening up nicely, go to this movie. She will be so bored out of her brains, she'll do anything to make life more interesting ;)! It's a no-brainer!

Just when I thought I can feel an inkling of pride with the Indian movie scene (3 Deewarein, Swades, Lakshya), it raises it ever present ugly head of "inspiration". The plot and the characters neatly "borrowed" and given a Bollywood Jhatka of usual romantic interest, I am Sam is remade, rehashed and proper FUBSR (fouled up but still recognizable) and Indianised for the huge audience of illiterate masses and sub-literate asses.

There isn't much need to delve into the story, people looking forward to this movie (groan) can just scoop up some reviews from the aforementioned Holllywood page here on IMDb and be well prepared to compare Ajay Devgan and Sean Penn, at least that will entertain you for the duration of the movie. Oh, and Ms. Sen says it's her best performance yet, now we know how good she actually is then ;).

I hope someday somebody sues Bollywood.

The boy has found a treasure, it's his secret. His valuable capsule of adventure. In a small community, in some far off place, is Michele. A group of 5 children playing in the wheat fields, the images are poetic. The boy himself is a poet. He makes up stories for his treasure, trying to explain it... So what is this treasure? It would not be spoiling, if I told u, as it is known some 10 minutes into the movie, but I will still refrain from doing so.

Let's just say, this is a story of the fragile relationship between parent and child, the fragility of the human bond that is made from the fibers of love, trust, respect but is threatened by morality, justice, the right and the wrong. So, does the evil blade of truth, of virtue cut this bond?

It tells us of the passage one makes at some point in their lives - corruption of the pure senses one is born with; innocence lost...
